More UK agencies take PlacesToStay
Three agencies have signed to take hotel inventory from PlacesTo Stay, the reservations programme from online travel group FEXCO AllTravel.
Inventory will be channelled to the three agencies – Media Travel Services, Custom Flights and Comfort Abroad – by Top Dog Developments, a Peterborough-based provider of technology systems to travel agencies and operators. Dynamic packaging venture lowcostbeds.com was the first Top Dog customer to sign with PlacesToStay just over a year ago.
PlacesToStay (www.placestostay.com) is the online hotel reservation business acquired by FEXCO AllTravel in September 2005. It offers travel trade distributors and consolidators real-time booking from an inventory of over 25,000 hotel properties offering attractive rates and commission payment.
FEXCO AllTravel head of distribution and business development Tim Wright, said: “By working closely with Top Dog, we are able to reach many more trade distributors across the UK effectively and efficiently with our hotel inventory offer. In return, Top Dog adds further value to its technology-based relationship with its agency customers by enabling fast, secure booking access to a wide range of hotels around the world.”
Top Dog solutions feature front and back office applications, search facilities, viewdata connection and XML links with suppliers enabling trade users to sell dynamic and pre-packaged holidays, as well as seat-only, accommodation-only and travel extras.
